We Made Halloween Quilts!

Happy Monday!
My daughter Chelsea decided we needed to learn to make a quilt .. so that is what we did this weekend! We each made a twin size Halloween quilt.. from 4 inch squares. We You tubed a lot of the instructions .. It isn't easy to make one but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be ..Binding was a little hard.. And ..OMG there is a a stack of Christmas squares ready to make a Christmas quilt! How did that happen!

My other daughter ( the fury one) thinks it is hers! Chelsea did great .. she had never really sewn before other than in Home Ec..But now she has a quilt that she made!

She is the Queen of this castle :)

Oohh well done both of you. You're amazing getting that done over the weekend. You will both be in trouble now, EVERYONE and his/her dog(pardon the pun) will now want one---- and yesterday :) Quilts are actually fun to do and look brilliant.Now you will be going and finding cotton fabrics and building up stash. I thik your quilts are fantastic.

Those seriously turned out adorable!! You both did a fantastic job and holy smokin' needles! You are FAST!! It would take me 3 years just to cut all the squares - LOL! Looking forward to seeing your Christmas versions!!

Good for you! I know Chelsea had been talking about wanting to learn to quilt...and you guys sure did! Isn't YouTube wonderful? You can learn to do just about anything! Your quilts look GREAT! And, most importantly, Ronnie looks quite pleased with the results!

I'm always amazed at the speed with which you and Chelsea put new projects together--and so beautifully! The Halloween quilt looks adorable. Nice to have a new hobby (but please don't abandon us cross-stitchers!!)
